January 16, 2023 Dear Ms. Abella: Greetings! Thank you for your request dated Jan 15, 2023 under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch. Your request You asked for Request for a copy of my BIR Forms 2316. Response to your request In connection with your request through eFOI Portal pertaining to the request for a copy of BIR Form 2316 as a Substitute Income Tax Return for Taxable Year/s 2013 to 2016. Please be informed that such request cannot be granted by the Revenue District Office (RDO) where your employers during the taxable years were registered since the aforesaid BIR Withholding Tax Certificates (BIR Form 2316) were issued in 2013 to 2016 and records of the RDO on those periods are already unavailable since we follow strictly the four (4) year retention period based on existing revenue issuances of the BIR (Revenue Memorandum Circular 73-2008). Hence, you may ask your previous employer/s for the copy/ies of your Certificate of Compensation Payment/ Tax Withheld (BIR Form 2316) because all taxpayers are required to preserve their accounting records for the period of 10 years in accordance with the Revenue Memorandum Circular No. 29-2019. Thank you. Respectfully yours, FOI Receiving Officer Public Information and Education Division
